CAUTION: Loosen all string tension before installing or removing tension springs. Tremolo springs are designed for high tension. Extreme care should be taken when installing and removing these springs.
Tremolo Arm
The tremolo arm is inserted and screwed into the tremolo arm socket on the bridge plate. This assembly can be adjusted to control the amount of torque required to rotate the tremolo arm. Some players prefer the tremolo arm to stay in place when used. This can be accomplished by using the supplied 12mm wrench to hold the top of the tremolo arm socket while screwing the tremolo arm firmly into place.
If you prefer to have the tremolo arm swing freely, loosen the nut on the bottom of the tremolo arm socket. This is accessible through the tremolo spring pocket. Edward prefers an extremely loose feel, allowing approximately one inch of play before the tremolo is actuated. This adjustment accommodates Edward’s particular playing style. It allows him to hold onto the tremolo arm while picking without moving the tremolo until needed.
Fixed-Bridge Assembly
The
To decrease bridge height, turn the bridge height screws clockwise. To increase bridge height, turn the bridge height screws counterclockwise. The stop tailpiece may also be adjusted to increase or decrease string tension across the bridge. Lowering the tailpiece (turning screw clockwise) will increase the string tension, while raising the tailpiece (turning screw counterclockwise) will decrease the string tension.
